Installing Dionex Devices
PDA-100 (DX-LAN) HPLC Detector: Overview

 

Device Type:

HPLC detector

Device Driver:

Dionex: PDA-100 Detector

Hardware Options
Supported:

PDA-100 Photodiode Array Detector

 

What is required?

Licenses:

Timebase Class 1 or
To allow acquisition of 3D data:
Timebase Class 1 + 3-D Data Acquisition

Connection:

Required components (included in shipment):

  • DX-LAN interface card (also, refer to  Installing the DX-LAN Card)

  • Crossover cable, approx. 3 m (Dionex part no. 960280)

To install several PDA-100 detectors (number = n), you need the following components instead of the crossover cable:

  • (n+1) DX-LAN cables (Dionex part no. 960281) with an Ethernet switch (Dionex part no. 061610 in North America; Dionex part no. 061655 outside North America)

Control Panel:

For example: HPLC_Summit.pan (PDA-100 as part of an HPLC system)
